Fig. 2

Intracellular distribution of aSiNPs and their effect on the structure and distribution of microfilaments (green: microfilament, blue: nucleus, red: fluorescent silica nanoparticles). (A) Immunofluorescence images of L-02 cells in control group, (a) nucleus transverse section, (b) cell upper surface transverse section. (B) and (C) Immunofluorescence images of L-02 cells in aSiNPs treated group (20 µg/ml), (a) nucleus transverse section, (b) cell upper surface transverse section. Yellow arrow head: a multinucleated cell induced by aSiNPs. White arrow heads: agglomerated microfilaments and the co-localized aSiNPs.
